In today’s culture, where feelings are the governing authority, gratitude is considered crucial. And it should be. But without someone to express gratitude to, it becomes just an empty feeling that goes no further than yourself.
Finding joy in the mundane of everyday life can be….well, mundane. But the truth is, true joy cannot be found in everyday life.
I don’t care who you are, or what your current life stage is, you know what it means to be too busy.
